The leading tank storage event for the German market returns to The Hamburg Messe on 16 & 17 November, with much of the conference programme touching on HSE and a large number of exhibitors unveiling new products specially designed to meet local safety and environmental regulations.

Stricter environmental rules and regulations within the German storage market are placing greater pressure on storage professionals to ensure correct operations are in place whilst maintaining cost effective business:

• Sven Eric Utsch, Managing Partner at Utsch & Partners: will explore the wider regulatory environment within which companies must operate
• Oliver Stanelle, General Manager Central Engineering at Oiltanking: will provide insight into the importance of certification for operators on terminals and the application of EEMUA as a guideline for repair and maintenance.
• Thomas Geier, CEO at FSP-Tech: who will be taking to the stage to share his insight into how tank showers deliver both safety and cost saving methods.

Running alongside the conference programme will be a packed exhibition hall, featuring over 90 leading suppliers.

For instance, Timm Elektronik will be presenting its recently launched marine grounding system, SEK-3, which offers the highest safety during the loading and unloading of vessels.

Flame arresters serve as secondary explosion protection measures for hindering transmission of flames or explosion. Both Bormann and Neupert by BS&B Safety and DAG-TS spol. SRO will be using the show to present their arresters, as well as other fire prevention products, which comply with the most stringent safety standards according to EU directive 94/9/EC.

Safety signage is a perfect first line of defence, especially in the battle to comply with stringent regulations. Blomsma Signs & Safety will be bringing its full range of safety signage and markings to the show, including its pipe marking, tank marking and anti-slip materials.

These projects have been delivered to the latest legislations and regulations, ensuring the highest quality is maintained.
